... slow motion piece that pulled the scene together, puffs of smoke and sparks flying everywhere as he finally dropped the trash can to starve the fire of oxygen and extinguish the flames. The final image was of the piece itself. Jeremy was holding it out to the camera in one hand, his arm and face slightly out of focus. His fingers stained with ash, his fingernails dirty with soot. The piece itself stunning. They had used a copper based glaze, and radiant streaks of oranges and greens played and intertwined with spots of pure black - in the areas which had been purposefully left without glaze. It was a stunning piece, delicate in shape and form, held by the hand of a man who could easily destroy it with just the strength of his fingertips. Jeremy was crying the entire time, covering his mouth or gripping at his own hair, leaning in to take in the details. Amanda then showed them the second video, it was at times in slow motion at times sped up considerably to show the process of throwing a large, wide bowl.

Roger has a 100,000 more thanks to the crystalline glaze testing you've done and, I tagged Kyle on most of your videos, he's gained 500,000 more followers too. I think his own recent shirtless posts are helping grow his audience, as well," Amanda raised her eyebrows as she spoke.
They all laughed and Jeremy stepped forward to give Amanda a kiss on her lips. She quickly grabbed a hold of his face and returned the kiss, smiling like she had just slain a prized bear in the Kodiak wilderness.
"One last thing, we had 15,000 requests to attend your show, Jeremy," she said. "We wanted to ask, if it's ok with you, if we hold your show in the large hall and maybe feature other student work from the assistants. They almost never get exposure, again, if you don't mind."
